Edited - I have upgraded my GPU since my original review.
2nd Edit - Nvidia hotfix driver has fixed the crashing issue.

Current Specs:

CPU: R7 5700x
RAM: 16GB DDR4
GPU: RTX 3060Ti 8GB

The game now runs pretty good, much better than before (GTX 1060 6GB).

I'm not experiencing any crashes at all after updating my graphics driver to the latest Nvidia hotfix version 531.58. After updating my drivers, the shaders had to rebuild. This took around half an hour- compared to over an hour before.

The Nvidia hotfix driver directly addresses issues with 30 Series cards only. This explains why the game ran poorly yet very stable on my GTX 1060, and crashed several times on my 30 Series card.




Current performance:

ULTRA/HIGH graphics, HIGH textures, DLSS on QUALITY @ 1080p Native: 60-110FPS, runs very stable capped at 60 FPS. This is now a pleasant experience since I more than meet recommended specifications.

v1.0.2.0: I haven't noticed any changes in performance from v1.0.1.6 as I cap the FPS at 60. I haven't checked for improvements in CPU & GPU usage yet either.



Final Opinion
My previous final opinion still stands, and my expectations about meeting the recommended specifications were correct.

Take the recommended and minimum specs seriously, please.

If you want to have a decent chance at running the game at all, you must meet minimum specs. Meeting these minimum specifications does not guarantee a pleasant or smooth experience.

I believe a pleasant experience is 1080p, 60+ FPS - stable on a medium preset. I'm sure the port's developers have the same in mind.

To achieve this you need a system that meets their recommended specs at least.
That's literally why they're called 'recommended specifications'.

If you do meet recommended specs and are still having a bad time, well- #RIPBOZO. Sounds like a skill issue.

I do hope that they can squeeze a bit more performance out of the game, and that they improve upon the texture nightmares. As far as I'm concerned, my biggest issue with the game is in fact my own GPU, which is overdue for an upgrade. If my GPU met the recommended specs, I would see no reason as to why I'd experience any performance issues at all.


ps- the jump in texture quality from LOW to MED is a crime. This must be fixed!

TLDR: "game only cost me R150" * Proceeds to buy 5k GPU to play said game *
